Hi, You can cut any shape on a fence board by using a jigsaw. If you've never used one, they're pretty simple, and just take a little practice to master. I've been collecting old redwood and cedar fence boards lately for a fence on my slope. People seem to tear these things down by the mile. It only took 3 weeks to find the 200 boards I needed. It's a little dirtier work to collect them this way, but they're my favorite price, FREE! The cheapest we found at the hardware stores was about $7 for each foot (2 boards). Linda

animoosh: I can probably help you out with some Fresno seed. Mine too are from a the market. To me, the Fresno has a nice heat and a little more sweet than the Jalapeno, although I neve ate them green. The Fresno has more squared of shoulders and the flesh may be a little thinner than the Jal but still not a good drying pods. Check my user info and you should be able to find link over to drop me an email. Beth in Texas PS: Thanks for understanding my reasoning over on the "recommendation"! ;)

Hi Wasamkins, Welcome to the forum. I'm not the greatest painter compared to some on this forum but I do have fun with it. It gives me peace and relaxation. I'd like to contribute to the sites for free project by giving you this site "quickandeasypainting.com" They are a monthly mag in the stores and always have a different monthly free pattern. Have fun painting and please post some pics of your projects when done. As for buying painting books, do you have a Michael's or Joann's craft stores near you? Michael's has coupons in the Sunday newspaper here and at Joann's you can sign up for their bi-weekly flyer and get 40% off coupons so a $10 painting book is only $6, good deal. You can use the coupons for paint and other supplies too. As for other freebie painting sites or even wood cutouts, just type that in your web browser line and I'm sure you'll come up with a ton of sites to look at. Again, welcome to the forum, sure glad you joined. Sal
